Project in Question: http://code.google.com/p/jar-of-beans
I have come across this via XDA Developers. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33742111#post33742111) The project is meant to be some kind of Android emulator for Windows. What happens: By downloading this (http://code.google.com/p/jar-of-beans/downloads/detail?name=JarOfBeans_downloader_by_JarOfBeans.exe), you get a slim installer, which is supposed to obtain other files necessary for installation. Beforehand, it offers various programs. Even by skipping all of its offers, it silently installs a 'free file converter/downloader' program, giving Firefox another plugin to work with. While using Firefox (or IE or Chrome), every few minutes and/or every few link clicks will open a tab to iLivid, which is notorious for adware. I haven't noticed anything unusual since uninstalling the program (during network disconnection) and cleaning out the PC using various malware removal programs.
